As Skattebo went down, the impact to his lower leg was severe enough to prompt immediate reactions from players on both sidelines, who signaled for trainers and knelt in prayer. The scene was somber as medical staff rushed to Skattebo&rsquo;s side, and a cart was quickly brought onto the field to transport him off. The Eagles&rsquo; crowd at Lincoln Financial Field showed support, cheering for Skattebo as he was carted away. <\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DQSDJtkkS6B\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
